It's a still life [F] watercolor of [Eb] a now [Bb] late [F] afternoon
As [Eb] the sun [Gm] shines through [Cm] the curtain lace [Bb] and shadows [Gm] wash the room
[Gm] And we sit and drink our [Eb] [Gm] coffee

As [Eb] the sun [Gm] shines through [Cm] the curtain lace _ _ [Bb] and shadows [Gm] wash the room
_ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ And we sit and drink our [Eb] _ _ [Gm] coffee _
_ _ _ _ Couched _ [Ab]
in our indifference [G] like shells upon the shore
[F] You can hear the ocean roar
_ _ In _ [Ebm] the dangling [Gm] _ [F] _
conversation _ _ and _ [Bb] the [F] superficial [Eb] _ _ sighs _ _
_ The borders of [Bb] our _ _ _ lives _ _
And _ _ _ _ [Eb] you read [Bb] your [F] Emily Dickinson _ _ _
_ [Bb] And I my [F] Robert Frost
_ _ And _ [Eb] we [Bb] note our [Cm] place with _ _ bookmarkers
_ [Bb] That measure what we've lost
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
Like a poem poorly [Eb]
written
_ _ [Gm] _ _ We _
_ [Ab] are verses out of rhythm
_ [G] _ Couplets out of rhyme
[F] In _ _ [Bb] syncopated _ _ _ time
And [Eb] the [Bb] dangling _ [F] _ conversation _ _ _
And [Bb] the _ superficial _ [Eb] _
sighs
_ _ _ Are the [Bb] borders of our _ _ _ lives
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Yes [Eb] we speak of things [Bb] that [F] matter
_ _ _ _ _ With [Eb]
words that must be [F] said _ _
Can _ [Bb] _ _ analysis be [Cm] _
worthwhile
_ Is [Bb] the theater really dead
_ _ And _ _ _ _ how [Gm] the room has softly [Eb] _ faded _ _ _
[Gm] _ And _ _ [Ab] I only kiss your shadow
[G] I cannot feel your hand
[F] You're a stranger now unto me _ _
Lost [Eb] in the [Gm] dangling _ [F] conversation
_ _ _ _ And [Gm] the _
[F] superficial [Eb] _ _ _ sighs _
_ In the [Bb] borders of our _ lives
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
